The goal of AIS‑01: to define a set of principles, formats and Minimum API for Adaptive Intelligence systems to be:
-
interoperable;
-
verifiable adaptive behavior;
-
open and integrated into the OSS ecosystem.
-
Expected results: spec v0.1 (living document) + reference implementation + compliance tests.
- System type: agent, runtime, middleware, introspective compilers, adaptive OS modules.
- Level of application: core primitives (adaptive loop, state model, policy engine), plugin contract, observability contract.
- What is NOT in scope: detailed description of the internal ML/LLM model (only interface/hook description).
- Adaptive Agent, Adaptive Loop, Introspection, Trust Memory, Rollback Policy, Sandbox Context, Behavior Engine, Plugin Contract, Compliance Suite, etc.
- Quantitative descriptions for vague terms (e.g., "level of adaptivity" 0..3).
- Open & Transparent
- Composability (module‑first)
- Reproducibility & Core Determinism
- Least Privilege & Sandboxing
- Human‑in‑the‑loop by Default
- Traceability & Auditability
-
Layer Diagram: Application → Behavior Engine → Adaptive Core (Loop Controller, State Model, Experience Store) → Runtime/Plugin Host → Sandbox/OS
-
Main Components:
-
Adaptive Core (controller, scheduler)
-
State Model & Trust Memory
-
Policy Engine / Behavior Rules
-
Plugin Host / Loader (Lua/C++ bridge)
-
Observability & Telemetry
-
Compliance Monitor & Rollback Manager
- Phases: Sense → Interpret → Decide → Act → Learn → (optionally) Rollback
- Data exchange between phases (template schema)
- Time and constraints (hard/soft deadlines)
- Hooks for introspection and human override
- File layout & naming convention
- Module metadata (manifest): id, version, capabilities, dependencies, permissions
- Lifecycle methods: init, probe, run, quiesce, shutdown
- Semantic versioning & compatibility rules
-
Spec REST/gRPC/local IPC contracts for:
-
State read/write
-
Event publish/subscribe
-
Policy evaluation query
-
Telemetry ingestion
-
JSON schemas / protobuf examples for core messages
- Goal: how plugin authors write rules/behaviors in Lua and securely link to core C++
- API exposed to Lua (sandboxed): read_state(key), propose_action(action), request_rollback(reason)
- Security model: capability tokens, call timeouts, memory quotas
- Serialization rules between Lua and host
- Sandbox primitives: resource limits, syscall filtering, network egress policy
- Safety policies: forbidden actions, escalation rules, kill switches
- Self‑defense model: anomaly detector → containment → notification → forensic log
- Human emergency override & policy approval workflow
- Standard log format (structured logs), correlation IDs, causal traces
- Telemetry metrics (latency, adaptivity score, policy violations)
- Rollback policy definition: scopes, retention, automated vs manual
- Forensics and reproducibility: snapshotting, deterministic replay
- Data classification & handling rules
- Access control model (RBAC / capability‑based)
- Compliance with privacy principles (anonymization, minimal retention)
- Responsible disclosure & vulnerability handling
- Test categories: unit (determinism), integration (adaptive loop behavior), security (sandbox escape), performance (throughput), reproducibility (replay tests)
- Compliance levels: AIS‑C0 (baseline), AIS‑C1 (recommended), AIS‑C2 (strict)
- Reference test runner, how to publish results (badging)
- Suggested licenses for core/spec (Apache‑2.0 + contributor license optional agreements)
- Governance model options: benevolent dictator, meritocratic council, foundation model
- Contribution flow: issue → RFC → implementation → compliance test → approval
- Minimal core repo structure
- Example modules: state_store, behavior_rule_engine, lua_plugin_host, rollback_manager
- Quickstart guide: build → run → run sample scenario
- Intrusion detection + adaptive rollback
- Personalization proxy for vehicle driver (AIForDriver example)
- Cooperative multi‑agent adaptation (research scenario)
- Controlled model fine‑tuning via policy engine
- AIS‑01 milestones: spec v0.1 draft → ref impl v0.1 → compliance suite v0.1 → community review
- Versioning rules: semantic + capability tags
- Template manifest, JSON schema, protobufs
- Template CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, GOVERNANCE.md
